Impact Load Analysis of Innovative Hollow Corrugated Members

Abstract

As we know conventional building materials are very costly and having huge mass in nature this leads to invention of economical, light weighted hollow members. As the technologies developed day by day improvements on hollow members leads to the idea of providing corrugations on these hollow members so as to increase the load carrying capacity and durability of these members. In my project I’m put forwarding some innovative models like, internally stiffened diamond type model, externally stiffened corner type model, externally stiffened middle type model, internally and externally stiffened corner type mode, internally and externally stiffened middle type model. After modeling, primary analyzing is done by ANSYS software to achieve the maximum axial load withstanding model, then secondary analysis is done. Here I’m colliding a load to the member to get the impact characteristics of the member using ANSYS software.
